Today's workout and Movie
Monday. No running today but an equally intense cardio with a full 80 minutes on the cross trainer. No fun. Then continue with weights. Today, 7 sets of 40 reps for chest work. That's 240 reps. Again, no fun but love to hate it. Today's movie? We got a great movie from the 90s, "Boyz in the Hood" about life in South…

Today's workout and Movie........
Friday, big day, monster day at the gym. 8 mile run. Yes 8 miles. Then 40 minutes in the weight room. Love to hate it. And today we are going to screen one of my favorite all time movies......."Mask". The story of Rocky Dennis, born with a horrible deformity and disease but making the best of it. Cher is fantastic in this…

Today's workout and movie
Sunday is a biggie. 7 mile run, 45 minutes of weights, and a final 1 mile (10 minute) cardio burn on the machine. No fun but love to hate it. And today we are screening the 1978 Disco classic "Thank God It's Friday." We'll be watching this during the run and you'd be surprised how disco music can have a beat conducive to…

Today's workout and movie
Today is Monday which means no running. Give the joints a break. So it's all elliptical but it's 80 minutes, 8 miles and drenching sweat. And Monday means LA Fitness where the cardio equipment is upstairs, away from weights, so a lot less commotion going on. After cardio, 40 minutes in weights and than we call it a day.…

Today's workout and movie
Today's work out is the typical Sunday routine. A 6.5 to 7 mile run on the treadmill. Then 40 minutes in the weight room, then finish with a 1 to 1.5 mile (15 minute) elliptical burn. Big day.......Sunday and Fridays are the big ones. Max. And today we are thinking of screening Tony Montana, Frank Lopez, Sosa, and the gang…

The secret to finding happiness.........at the gym.
If you don't have a tablet, get one and turn the gym into your own personal daily movie theater. Get a tablet that has a microcard and download the movies you want to screen today. I do cardio including running and elliptical for an average of 1.5 hours a day. There is no way I could do this without having a movie to…
